3 episodes is 72 minutes of runtime, so I have to wait even MORE for rice??

 

[Elwiwi]

Because it only needs 15 minutes and not 15 hours

Should sue for false/misleading advertisement. I think you've got a real case here

Because it follows the "happened the other day" time scale, which encompasses everything from the fall of the Byzantine Empire to fifteen minutes ago.

So I should take my anger on Constantine XI for this! Darn Romans!

But is says 5 minutes on the box, where are you getting 15?

More importantly, you make a good point: they should have called it "minutes" which would still be good branding, and it would avoid the homograph problem in english that @Dyne pointed out, since the adjective does not have a plural.

I wonder why they didn't Was it too expensive to print an extra s? I would have fired the exec in charge of branding/marketing
